 be sampled.

+	Monitor only on the list of CPUs provided. Multiple CPUs can be provided as a

+	symbol_daddr, symbol_iaddr, dso_daddr, locked, tlb, mem, snoop,
+	dcacheline, phys_daddr, data_page_size, blocked.
+
+	- symbol_daddr: name of data symbol being executed on at the time of sample

+	- dso_daddr: name of library or module containing the data being executed
+	             on at the time of the sample
+	- locked: whether the bus was locked at the time of the sample
+	- tlb: type of tlb access for the data at the time of the sample
+	- mem: type of memory access for the data at the time of the sample
+	- snoop: type of snoop (if any) for the data at the time of the sample
+	- dcacheline: the cacheline the data address is on at the time of the sample

+
+	And the default sort keys are changed to local_weight, mem, sym, dso,
+	symbol_daddr, dso_daddr, snoop, tlb, locked, blocked, local_ins_lat.
+
+-T::
+--type-profile::
+	Show data-type profile result instead of code symbols.  This requires
+	the debug information and it will change the default sort keys to:
+	mem, snoop, tlb, type.
+
+-U::
+--hide-unresolved::
+	Only display entries resolved to a symbol.
+
+-x::
+--field-separator=<separator>::
+	Specify the field separator used when dump raw samples (-D option). By default,
+	The separator is the space character.
+
 In addition, for report all perf report options are valid, and for record
 all perf record options.
